Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have firmly rejected the idea of forming any coalition or merging with other political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This stance was one of the major outcomes of the 24th PDP Governors Forum meeting, held on Monday at the Oyo State Governor’s Office, Agodi Secretariat, in Ibadan.
Speaking on behalf of the Forum, Chairman and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, stated that the governors are committed to preserving the identity and strength of the PDP as the party prepares for future elections.
As part of their resolutions, the governors also agreed to seek a definitive interpretation from the Supreme Court on the constitutional process for declaring a state of emergency, to curb potential abuse of executive powers and strengthen constitutional democracy.
Other key decisions include:
- Collaboration with the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) to convene a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on May 27, 2025.
- Formation of two critical committees in preparation for the party’s early National Convention scheduled for August 28–30, 2025, in Kano.
For the Zoning Committee, the Forum recommended:
- Governor Douye Diri (Chairman)
- Governor Dauda Lawal (Vice Chairman)
- Governor Caleb Mutfwang (Secretary)
For the National Convention Committee:
- Governor Ahmadu Fintiri (Chairman)
- Governor Ademola Adeleke (Vice Chairman)
- Governor Peter Mbah (Secretary)
The resolutions reflect the party’s renewed drive for internal unity and strategic planning as it looks toward reclaiming national influence in 2027.
